Enjoying my fifth cup now. Next time I will have to keep better track of my steeping times, because the third one was oversteeped and the fourth one was a little insubstantial, and the fifth… well, I’m eating a (delicious) lemon bar, so I’m losing a lot of the nuances. (But the wet leaves smelled like ginger and graham cracker crust, and it was excellent.)

Bio

Hi! I’m a linguistics major at a certain infamous east coast tech school, I write, I rock climb, and I have a mild obsession with Diana Wynne Jones.

I’m also Russian, which means I’ve been drinking tea all my life — always loose leaf, and always black. Black teas are still my favorite, but of course I dabble in a bit of everything. I really like ceylon, I recently discovered puer, and I’m having a lot of fun exploring flavored black teas (and making silly fandom blends on adagio…).

My tea cabinet may or may not be accurate at the moment, as I am transitioning between locations…
